  any info would be appreciated .

  Maybe they opened it and took the stuff out, but said there was nothing in it.

  and how many of you feel because of that, you never really got to be a "teenager"?

  But Chevys, not every "worldly" kid gets involved in things like that. But I understand what you mean, I have to say, if there was any trouble I could have gotten into I certainly was safeguarded against it. That being said, I knew a bunch of witness kids in "good standing" who did all kinds of strange stuff. But for me the protection that I received certianly came at a price.

  One of the reasons so much human thought is devoted to the teenage years through literature, movies and art is because its at that time that who we really become as adults are born. What happens to us in our teen years effect us for the rest of our lives and help define who we are. I definitely agree that like a banzai tree, some of my 'coming of age' was stifled and I don't necessarily put 'sex and drugs' into this category, but maybe the ability to learn about the world around me under the security blanket of innocence and youth.

  To this day, there is much about social interaction that I just don't grasp. I feel inexperienced in these matters. I never felt what it was like to be part of a team and compete with my peers. I was never pushed to push myself, to push the boundaries of myself, my mind and my body. Everything of this world was an excercise in futility according to the world view I was given from childhood.

  Me too. Its hard to supress the regrets for going through just about everything that undercover just talked about and just move on with the rest of my life and be thankful that I am not still subjecting myself to that life.

  I have to say though that living as a witness teen will effect me for the rest of my life. Not that I am some horrible creature because of it, but I definitely have 'problems' that I have to deal with because of it.
